Nem ID

[kduen]

I have had this guy for three months now however I'm still not 100% sure on the ID of this guy. Here are a few crappy cell pics but I would like to hear what you all think. I don't want to influence any opinions so I will hold off on what I purchased it as.

 

[Blue spot]

its a carpet anemone ?

 

[kduen]

Lol. Yes it is a carpet nem. It just has characteristics of different species. Mainly between S. Gigantea and S. Haddoni.

Given the area void of tenticles around the mouth and the lack of tenticles in rows? I'm not arguing for or against just looking for opinions.

I think it's a haddoni.Main thing is it looks healthy.

Here is what's throwing me off. I purchased from LA as a large gig. Once I had it in the treatment tank I noticed it doesn't have purple verracue, however the verracue are very pronounced unlike my previous haddoni. The foot on this nem is blue and the tenticles are finally extending more but the longest is about an inch. If the foot was tan I would say haddoni but everything else just looks more like a gig to me. Either way I will be happy, maybe it just needs some more time Settling in.

If I had money at stake, I would say gig...

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

After you described the foot,I would agree it is a gig.

 

[D-Nak]

I vote gig. The blue foot is the typical color combination with the oral disk. The tentacles should get longer over time.

I agree gig, also.

Can you get a few pictures or video of the underside? (I say video because sometimes it is hard to focus on one spot and a video may auto adjust as needed and provide that view)

Looks real good too!

 

[addictedreefer]

Gig.

 

[kduen]

I will try to get a video up soon. It still hasn't found its perfect spot yet so next time it's out and about I will see what I can do. It's like it can't decide between two spots it stays in one for a week or two then moves to the other.
